4.5 dentist

SKVs 4 1/2 year appointment. Her teeth are awesome they said-awesome! No stains or anything-hope she can keep that going!

Wolfpack Start

ECV frequently brings us this book and with babbles of "Wolfpack," "wooo," and attempts to make the pack sign crawls in our laps for a good read.

Twirling Girls

Sidney Kate is teaching Embree Claire all the fun parts of being a kid. Even if mommy thinks it's well before ECV can control her body. Twirling, jumping on the bed, climbing out of the crib...

Last Day

Poor buster hasn't taken the news so well.

On our way to the lights!

Pilot mtn extravaganza

With the Freemans!

Night 32

So sad...really.

Night 31

Someone misses Santa's workshop-or enjoys the tummy treats...hmmmm.

Night 30

Pluto quickly "picked up" the new girl and car in the house. Not sure what this says about him!

Night 29

Pluto is totally enjoying all the new toys! Such inspiration to be had!

Sick day art

Sidney Kate wanted to paint - so we took a good portion of the day and painted some gifts. She painted the top three, Embree Claire did the handprint snowmen and I did the tooth fairy upon request.

Night 28

Pluto is quite impressionable. After a day of watching us paint he wanted to express himself through art. Nicely done.

Night 27

Sidney Kate found and rescued Pluto before I snapped a picture. Here she was recreating his latest predicament. He must have gotten inspired by Kevin's baking and got stuck in the play kitchen while trying to bake.

Night 26

Yummy sugar cookies and milk! Almond milk too-none of that silly "cows" milk.

Night 25

Where's Pluto?!?!

Night 24

Someone misses the girls a lot. Friends sleepover seemed to do the trick though.

Night 23

New favorite toys!!

Night 22

Pluto is relentless with that red marker!! He marked out Daddy's name and wrote his own!! Sounds like timeout is in order!

Night 21

Oh no-again?!

Driving Miss Daisies!

Oh found this sweet picture from Mrs. Spencer! Kaleb driving all the characters around-look at those faces!

Night 20

Pluto must know how much SKV loves hot chocolate!

Krispy Kreme

First visit to Krispy Kreme?? By first doughnut but possibly first trip-Mommy has a bad memory.

Regardless, she makes her mommy, daddy and Aunt Jill proud!

Eva Did It!!

She totally looks 5!! And Kevin's (jokey) reply was "Heads will roll" to a picture of this being emailed to him. But in all fairness, she wanted it to her chin!!!

Night 19

It's a bird-it's a plane-no, it's SUPER PLUTO!

Night 18 cont

He's sneaky!! Poor Kinsleigh, he's checking her goods out!

Night 18

Hehe

Night 17

Sweet Pluto! Getting breakfast ready!

Night 16

Pluto must be as tired as the rest of us! Pooped is the word!

Night 15

Pluto was impressed with SKV and her Santa-bravery and with ECV for not crying at the sight of him...and he wrote a note telling then so. He was so excited that he remembered how hard it was for me to clean up last year...that he forgot and well...whoops as he wrote!

Santa FINALLY!

At age 8 months SKV took the classic baby/Santa picture where the baby looks unknowingly at Santa. Every year since then it has been screaming and crying-it was even NO until seconds before this shot-YAH SIDNEY KATE!!

Dessert

Yummy dessert at the MACS Christmas party!

Santa's Chair

Sneakily sitting in Santa's chair before he arrives.

Night 14

They'll never find me here! Hehehe! (Not creepy at all!)

Night 13

Just to be part of a family-Awww.

Night 12

Oh looks who's cashing in on the parade candy!!

Night 11

She'll never find me here!

Night 10

Boys! Making ramps and having competitions!

Parade!

So much candy!

Parade with the Freeman's!

New tradition?! Yes!!

Weeeee!

Everyone deserves a celebration lap when the Walmart trip is done!

Night 9

Night 9 - it's bath time!

Night 8

Pluto apparently follows an elf diet of sweets. Ice cream for breakfast? An elf after my own heart!

Sent from Carrie's iPhone

Night 7

Last year Pluto snatched SKVs panties and hung them from the tree, with care of course-this year ECVs diapers were stolen. Gracious!

Night 6

He's fully returned to his antics!! Oh SKV will love this!!

Night 5

Silly elf!

Night 4

Little late arrival it seems.
